Right. Your best bet is to pick up a copy of LTOI II for the PC and use
the game files with the GS version of Frotz.

Masterpieces is also an option if you have a CD-ROM. However, all the
game docs are stored on the CD in PDF files, so this is probably not a
good option if you only have a GS.

FYI, Masterpieces does include "Leather Goddesses of Phobos", but not
"Hitchhikers" or "Shogun". That is because the licences expired on both of
those products and the copyrights reverted to their respective authors
(Adams and Clavel(sp?)).

One other thing, HHGTTG is definately *somewhere* on asimov as I notice that
I have a copy in an image file (and it is definately not one I own in
real diskette form).
